FinregE Accelerates Expansion with Appointment of Paul Lyon as Chief Marketing & Communications Officer

FinregE, the leading global RegTech firm, today announced the appointment of financial markets industry veteran Paul Lyon as Chief Marketing & Communications Officer (CMCO). He joins the AI-powered regulatory compliance firm in the newly created executive role with “a mandate to lead Global Corporate Affairs during a significant phase of growth and market expansion,” the company said in a statement. 

Founded in 2018 by seasoned compliance and technology experts, and with strategic investment from Moody’s Corporation announced in January 2026, FinregE “combines deep regulatory insight with advanced AI, natural language processing and machine learning to deliver compliance at scale.” Based in Canary Wharf, London, Lyon will define the company’s integrated Communications, Analyst Relations, Brand, Marketing and Digital strategy, reporting to Rohini Gupta, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of FinregE. As CMCO and Chief Spokesperson he will lead and build the dedicated Marketing & Communications team, with a focus on “strengthening external positioning, supporting stakeholder engagement across clients, partners, regulators, analysts and the media.” 

“Lyon brings more than 20 years of financial markets and technology experience to the company, having held senior management and board advisory roles within complex and highly regulated environments,” the company added. “Throughout his career, Lyon has specialised in building commercially aligned and award-winning global corporate affairs functions during periods of transformation, accelerated growth and strategic repositioning.” 

Most recently Lyon served as Senior Director, External Communications: Global Branding, Communications & Marketing for global information services company Wolters Kluwer, where he led the enterprise-wide team of Directors and Managers across the Euronext-listed firm’s five divisions. His previous executive leadership experience includes six years at Daiwa Capital Markets, the investment banking arm of Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed Daiwa Securities Group, as Head of Communication & Marketing and Executive Director, Europe & Middle East. He also served as a Member of The Board Operating Committee at Daiwa Europe. Prior to this, he was Head of Key Media, Communication & Marketing, at The Royal Bank of Scotland. Lyon began his career as a journalist, and later editor, for leading financial publications. He is also a published author of books on risk management and has lectured on Financial Communications and Marketing Strategy at postgraduate business school level. 

Rohini Gupta, CEO of FinregE, commented: “FinregE has evolved from agile innovator to the foundational infrastructure for global regulatory compliance and our engagement strategy must match the sophistication of our technology. Paul’s pedigree across global banking, regulatory technology and financial journalism gives him a unique vantage point to navigate the complex stakeholder landscape we operate in. As we accelerate our commercial scaling, Paul and his team will ensure FinregE is recognised by regulators, analysts and enterprise clients as the definitive regulatory operating system.” 

The senior appointment comes as financial institutions and corporates continue to face increasing regulatory complexity alongside growing demand for more operational, machine-interpretable approaches to compliance and regulatory change management. 

Paul Lyon, CMCO of FinregE, said: “Regulation is moving beyond interpretation and becoming embedded directly within operational workflows and decision-making processes. FinregE sits at the centre of that transition. I look forward to partnering with the Executive Leadership Team to articulate this vision and strengthen the company’s position as the market leader in AI-powered regulatory compliance technology.”

Last week we reported how the company has been nominated as a finalist for “Regtech Company of the Year” in the FinTech Awards 2026. FinregE’s platform currently captures and analyses more than three million regulatory data points from 2,000+ sources across 160+ jurisdictions, providing a unified, real-time view of regulatory obligations across the enterprise. In March the company reported how it had been chosen by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to redesign, host and manage its Handbook Website. “FinregE brought its regulatory technology expertise to the forefront, delivering a cutting-edge digital platform purpose-built for the FCA’s needs,” the company said in a statement at the time. “Leveraging its proprietary regulatory infrastructure and data structuring capabilities, FinregE introduced an intelligent, mapped taxonomy, machine-readable regulation libraries and change-tracking facilities, transforming how users interact with the Handbook.”
